I'm supposed to donate to the United Way to dress down on Fridays. I don't donate and any day I want is dress down day.

Anyway. I just throw whatever I'll be wearing in the office in a backpack and change when I get to work. I don't deal with the public and everyone knows that I ride so if I appear a little dirty or unkempt, no one bats an eye.
 
I never have to dress up and I work in an office environment, it's great.. But in that case it would be a hard choice to make that's for sure.
 
I shower / change at work. If there's an off-site meeting I get someone to drive me, or I ride on the backs of my underlings.
 
I keep a couple sets of clothing at my work location. For a suit, I don't think there's any other viable option. Casual dress-wear should be OK under riding gear or folded-up in a backpack, etc.
 
Just fold my stuff nicely. I leave my shoes/ties/belts at work. Have a couple suitcoats in the closet with everyone elses. Just fold pants and shirts nicely into backpack. I only wear Brooks Brothers no iron shirts and hang them as soon as I get home.
 
I take the TTC. The ride wouldn't be worth the hassle.
 
I have saddle bags for my heels n change of clothes but most of my stuff doesn't really wrinkle ..
 
I take a change of clothes with me and change at work. Not a suit though, but business casual. My astars leathers won't fly at work....lol!

I wear a suit and ride in every day. I leave a few jackets at work so I don't need to wear those. Shoes stay at work too. I wear textile pants and jacket over my suit pants and shirt. On crazy hot days it sucks. I get made fun of for it but 1) I'm Damn good at my job so they can bite me and 2) they're just jealous.

Commuting on a bike in formal clothes is doable. I work on Bay St. A few pro's come in on bikes every day.
 
No joke, this year for the first time ever I saw a guy riding in a dress suit. Should have taken a pic, the wife and I just laughed. BTW, he was riding a CBR 600rr who knows he could be on GTAM.

I do the same.
 
I'm starting at an office for the first time on Tuesday, glad this got posted heh.
Was planning on just wearing my jacket overtop my dress shirt and shoes in backpack.
 
Business casual in my office so i wear my riding jacket on top of my shirt, I ride with dress shoes. If i had to change or wear a suit I wouldn't ride, PITA even if it saves me 30 bucks a day to ride
 
Only ride on Friday when I can wear jeans and a Golf Shirt. (laptop, shoes and jeans in my pack pack)

I ride against traffic so it is quite enjoyable in the morning despite it being straight along Kingston Rd East to 401 E to Ajax.

I work in the financial district. Wear at minimum a shirt and tie every day. Once or twice a week I'm usually in a full suit. When I am, I carefully fold my jacket in half and roll it up and put it in a backpack. Comes out wrinkle free that way.
 
ok now the second question is where do you park? I am working close to front and york and there isn't any parking within reasonable distance. 15-20min walk seems to be the closest
 
I used to do this a couple years back and just wore my dress shirt and pants, with my shoes left at the office.

Yeah, that was a bad idea, oh well.
